ROADTRIPPIN DESERT BLUES PARTY

Wij gaan trippen vanavond met deze vier ongelofelijke muzikanten. Ze nemen je mee op een trip met hun nieuwe eigen nummers vol desert blues, soms grenzend aan ska, soms grenzend aan Led Zeppelin, dan weer grenzeloos alles over en omstijgend, dalend en stijgend al ben je zelf aan het vliegen in een ongelofelijke dans, dansend op en in en onder de trance van deze desert blues!!!
Drums: Elmore James van Dodewaard
Gitaar: Chi Ron
Bas: Nico
Zang: Ralph

We doen het in Club Dauphine, Amsterdam.

De mooiste club van Nederland is direct gelegen aan het Amstel station en dus ook vanuit Utrecht zeer goed te bereiken.

Alvast een twaalftal teksten van de nieuwe plaat. En de tourlist.

Nummer 1: I hear the whispers, of the fine young man.
Doesn’t dare to express himself, doesn’t know where to begin.
Still walking in circles, all those old odd fears.
So here he is whispering, can’t hear him bark the breeze.
And he’s so lonely, walking on the perfect path.
And he’s so alone, walking the same road.

Circle up, treat ourselves as a team.
We all got these troubles, ‘cause life can be a mean dream.
All the pain that we’re carrying, in our bones every day.
Could we treat it as the past, not the future way?
_-_IV_-_yeah I’m so hungry, 3 _-_1_-_ I’m so hungry,
_-_IV_-_I’m so hungry, _-_1_-_for a brand new road.
(Korte solo)
_-_IV_-_yeah fly now mama , I wanna fly _-_1_-_
_-_IV_-_fly my mama , I wanna dy _-_1_-_yyyyyyyy

All those magical moments, are working together.
We can survive these tricks, we can come a little further.
Get that _-_IV_ circle undone! And put your _-_1_- feet somewhere else.
‘Cause if you _IV_ keep on walking* I’m gonna _1_ burn!…come on roll it..aaahhhhhrhrh aahrhrh aasrhhr yeaah come on
(Lange solohihvvj
You’re now picking the wall life full of bliss, you’re now picking the wall full of bliss.
I don’t have you in a kiss, thinking of you, be gone.
(Solo daarna eind change naar mineur)
Feel the hand full of bliss, touches on your shoulder. Feel the hand full of bliss, touches on your shoulder.i

Feel the dancing fingers, dance upon your back. Feel the dancing fingers, dancing on your neck, dancing on your back.

All the tension that was on you, now sure is gone. All the tension that was on you, now sure is gone.

Hear the blissful creatures, feed on your fear.
As you touch Mama Earth, you feel back the natures hurt.

<<Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it

As you walk on to the other station, ‘cause there ain’t no train that rides your way.
No car, no bicycle, we gotta walk and fall and stand up slow
you gotta walk and fall and stand up slow
Can you Feel it Feel it, Can you Feel it Feel it, Can you Feel it Feel it, Can you Feel it Feel it
come on mister guitar man

I feel the breezes who blow the earth.
I feel the breezes who blow the earth. woo
They refresh my breath.
Boreal Forest. Boreal Forest.
Refreshes my breath.
Can you Feel it Feel it, Can you Feel it Feel it, Can you Feel it Feel it, Can you Feel it can you Feel it

So naked we breathe the air, when we’re first born, and draw the first of breaths.
Without that, small as it might feel, the babies of today won’t draw their first of, won’t draw their first of, won’t draw their first of , breaths.
It might mean last years, it might mean last cries, but the school of life can be a paradise.
Can you Feel? Can you Feel___it?

nummer 2: I know you try to make me smile
But you can not reach me right now
I am so tensioned that I do not know how to get back to my inner child
Following the path that I so long walked,
circles in the sand, my footsteps here we go again

Suffering all the laughter, what I so long lost
But that is just a school of life
That’s the way it goes
All those cicrcles in the sand
Where I tread again I can count it out 123
Here I go another round

Who am I to talk like this
Have I got the wisdom in my head
or I just read some book
Here I go again

Following all those losers who wrote them books
Who are walking always on those lines
I want to fall in between the lines

wait a minute

Take me one more time
Just one more round
Take me one more line further down the road
Walking circles all the time 1x
We stick around together
Walking circles all the time 2x
Smiling circle clowns 9x

nummer 3: [hey darling you’re the light of my love yeah:]4x
I met you when I walked on my rubber boots, i had to play for Harry Muskee. I know he was my favourite bluesman. He sang the blues right straight from his heart. It was I guess on Curacao. where I met you baby, baby blue. Your tattoo it shone right to me. I had to kiss it. That brought a little misery. Baby, now you’re still in my life. And you are I mean the light of my life.
[hey baby/hey sugar you’re the light of/in my love:]4x

Hey you’re the light ever since I saw you. I didn’t know, WHO_ you were. I found out we’re the same soul, in different bodies. You’re the sun and and the moon. And I’m the sun soon. As soon as you turn around, I’m there to catch you in my arms.
*refr: [little darling you’re the light of my love yeah:]3x
“_you’re the light of my love” “break it down_”
<
little darling you’re the light of my love
[:light of my love:] ad lib
[:thema 🙂 ad lib
*refr: [light of my love:] ad lib
thema 4x
you’re the light of my life.

nr.4 I got dealt the darkness, once again
had to light it up once again
and i free your mind, once again.
i free your mind, once again
I hear Marleys chains. Do you hear them too?
I hear Marleys chains. Do you hear them too?
I wonder why, i feel so lost, in this paradise.
I’ve had my food and my water since i was born. So what should I complain? So what should I complain?
I tumble, from the steps, that i just climbed. I thought I’d never fall down, never fall out again.
But i do it now, and i can’t see why. Was it just the lazyness of not minding my steps.
When do i give up? Is there a way, to end this game?
How many more roads, do I have to fall tumbling down? Roll tumbling. Tumbling down_-_
ohhoooo _-_ ahahoo eejooo aawwaw _-_
_-_
solo
alalala
whistle

nr.5 I’m dressed in white, but that doesn’t mean to much. What does it say about my dreams? What does it mean to you? Does it mean to me?

I wrestle in this world, with all the boys and girls. Who am I in all this trouble? I see myself in clothes, that I didn’t pick. What’s hip right now, I don’t care.

I’m a mean machine. I love to sing the blues. I love to sing it all night long.

Shadows that are falling, longer still. It’s the end of the game. ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, round and round

‘Round and ‘round the film goes, ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, round and round

I wake up and see, the difference between you and me. And I can’t deny my sweetest.

I embrace your soul, your skin touches mine. The coffeine, like the colour.

I am so yellow now. My blood keeps boiling now. Feel like a swifter. A tornado, dissolving with you. I can’t deny, my feelings are true.

‘Round and ‘round the film goes, Round round the movie goes, Round round the reel it goes, reelin’ and a rockin’.

Round and round the reel it goes. The movie still goes on. Got it brighter now.

solo

Round and round the film goes. I know and it shows, who you are, who we are today.

Yesterday the same old blues, I don’t know what we gotta lose. I sing my song out of my soul and I know.

‘Round and ‘round the film goes, ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, round and round and round
round and round and round, round and round and round, round and round and round, round and round and round
and round my boy and round my girl and round my man and round my woman, and my round my grandmama. Thank you all, Thank you All.
solo

nr.6 This is the way life goes, this is the way and it shows. This is the way life goes.
This is the way life goes, this is the way and it shows. This is the way life goes. This is the way life goes.
I know that I’m blind, I know that the word’s a lie. Those 4, 5 letter words. These more or 5 letter words.
And i know that i’m good, even though i call it bad. I got my lungs screaming at you. I got the air from inside, from outside in. I got the roll model for you, and it’s love.

solo

Broken hearted, now ain’t we all? But we got to mend it together, working together. Flying away. Spread your wings, i want your love to fly.
Spread your wings, i want your love to fly.

nr.7 I wore my purple scar,�My submarine yellow trousers fitted right to them.�My red head in the air,�neighing like a wild horse on the hill.�And i wanted to, go beyond baby,�get that dimension right here,�And let me sink, to the ocean of love,�with all the colours, and manage much more,�than i ever dreamed of, in my wildest dreams.�I surrender my truths to it all.
in the ocean, ocean of love
[:in the ocean , ocean of love:]3x
PLAY IT MAMA, ohhhh oooooh alrright …solo ad lib
I want your, sweet embrace to widen baby,�’till we hold the universe,�Then go further, further down, where no road has gone.�where here is here in the for ever now. Yeah come on.
Back to the ocean , ocean of love
[:Back to the ocean, ocean of love.:]3x

(extra)
why come baby in the mourning rain, let it all shine now.
why come baby, and let it all hang down.
in a burning light, i sit alone.
hear me calling, in the burning light.
if i could see you, in the crowded fields.
a living wondering, is all i need
[: to get back home 🙂
and i wonder, where i should go, right here.
ride along that railroad line.
i shouldn’t , I should find my own way.
hear me out, won’t you hear me play?
i want you to hear me play, hear me play.
alone for a little while.
so the dizziness can leave my head.
that blind me, well i did that thing for sure.

to ride the line in the sunset till the morning.
just spread my wings, to feel the freedom flight.
in the morning, waving goodbye to you baby.
and then a rising, of the healing winds.
I shatter my long, used to be.
a picture that i carried so long.
A hurting flame, in which I saw myself.
Dissolving all, in one.
Make the rainbow the knight in shining armour.
Picture yourself, from up above.
How you feel peace, in the deepest grounds.
Be connected to the light deep down inside baby.
Right on time I see, It’s all way back home.
I’m in the sun, in the sunlight, rolling,
rolling, rolling,
rolling lordy, rolling right now.
Are you ready, are you ready, to roll all night long? Find yourself on the floor. A heart that’s softly explaining,
why the sun is brighter here, why the sun is brighter here.
If I see, it’s, just a name. And my wings sail by ,
in the ocean of love.
I let my wings sail, on the ocean , in the ocean, of love. If I see to me in God. In the ocean baby, in the ocean of love.
I don’t want the back door, And i don’t wanna roll. Feeling love,

in the ocean, in the ocean of love.

rolling lordy, rolling the light.
in the ocean baby, in the ocean in the ocean of love.

in the ocean, in the ocean of love. Put your arms around me baby.

solo

[:Born in the ocean of love.🙂

{:i’m a born in a:}<

and i wore my purple scarf, my pink ballet shoes, fitting right in there. My yellow submarine trousers, fitting right in there. My green glasses painted the yellow sky. My naked, body close to that. Sweating skin on skin, every day.
And I’m submitting to the waves. Oh let me out, and put me down. Once in a while.

[: Back in the ocean of love 🙂

lo lo lo lo lo

[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love 🙂

So, fitted to the truth, are those symbols written, on the lines. With in between the lines, a hint of what you are. And the wide people, and the wide people mama yeah,

[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love 🙂

I make them feel so good, so good, inside.
and wrinkle the water, baby low.

[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love 🙂
[: Bring it home to me yeah, in the ocean of love 🙂
sing it out lonely, the lonely avenue
and swing me back, in the ocean of love.
I wanna hear the blue(/blood), right in here, singing my song
[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love 🙂

I wore my purple scars, my pink ballet shoes fitted right in, my submarine yellow trousers, so good,
My green glasses coloured the yellow sky.
My naked body close to that, sweating skin on skin every day.

[: Back in the ocean, of love 🙂
i wanna go now
[: Back in the ocean, of love 🙂

You found me back, in the dark. You took the glass out of my hand. You made me feel an empty vessel once more. In the sense of fullness and the brightness. I’m a miracle, the songs are light and the sighs are light.

[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love 🙂

Right on time , I came to you baby.
To guide you for, transition in all colours.
Right on time, to guide you.

[: Back to the ocean, of love 🙂

(versie 2) optreden 1 cool:

[: Back in the ocean, of love 🙂
I got my pink ballet shoes, my submarine yellow trousers. My green glasses pass the yellow sky. My naked body, close all the time. Sweating, skin on skin.

[: Back to the ocean, of love 🙂

I’m riding so blind. Ease my worried mind. The old black shoes, on my feet. Like they seem to disappear.
[: Back in the ocean, of love 🙂

From the hills so, steep and small.
I glide off, I really fall, back in the ocean, of love.
I can no longer hide, mya feet and i smile
A drop so tiny, I will fall someday.
You know where, you know when.

let’s sing together, let’s sing together
[: Back in the ocean, of love 🙂

Versie 3 optreden 2 buckshot:

[: Back to the ocean, back to the ocean, of love 🙂

i wear my pink ballet shoes, i wear my purple, my purple scarf, i wear my submarine yellow trousers, they fit right in, and my green glasses colour the yellow sky. Underneath my naked skin, feels so light. I want you under there, sweating , skin on skin.

[: Back to the ocean, back to the ocean, of love 🙂

Right from the start i was swinging home and now i realise. All the emotions, all the emotions were just a wave. And i go back, on the back of the wild horses, back to the ocean of love.
That’s what I want, in my life a thousand times. I said:
[: Back to the ocean, back to the ocean, of love 🙂

Fool that I’ve been, so long running blind on this Mother Earth. Here I am, standing naked before the mirror of the water, that I will swim in. Here on the waves again, sailing my boat, sailing my boat, once more. No matter how high the waves, I will stay in the ocean, I will stay on the ocean.
My father, and my mother, taught me how to read, taught me how to write, taught how to build a home in the fields and do your thing. Oh. And I had the freedom, to pick up my guitar and sing.

And we all got to keep the spring clean, for the children of tomorrow. We got to keep the spring clean. So we can jump back to the stars, back tot he stars . Back to the stars, back to the stars, back to the stars.
Back to the stars. Oh one more time we go back, back to the stars, oh one more time, back to the stars.

Alvast een negental teksten van de nieuwe plaat.

Nummer 1: I hear the whispers, of the fine young man.
Doesn’t dare to express himself, doesn’t know where to begin.
Still walking in circles, all those old odd fears.
So here he is whispering, can’t hear him bark the breeze.
And he’s so lonely, walking on the perfect path.
And he’s so alone, walking the same road.

Circle up, treat ourselves as a team.
We all got these troubles, ‘cause life can be a mean dream.
All the pain that we’re carrying, in our bones every day.
Could we treat it as the past, not the future way?
_-_IV_-_yeah I’m so hungry, _-_1_-_ I’m so hungry,
_-_IV_-_I’m so hungry, _-_1_-_for a brand new road.

_-_IV_-_yeah fly now mama , I wanna fly _-_1_-_
_-_IV_-_fly my mama , I wanna dy _-_1_-_yyyyyyyy

All those magical moments, are working together.
We can survive these tricks, we can come a little further.
Get that _-_IV_ circle undone! And put your _-_1_- feet somewhere else.
‘Cause if you _IV_ keep on walking* I’m gonna _1_ burn!…come on roll it..aaahhhhhrhrh aahrhrh aasrhhr yeaah come on

You’re now picking the wall life full of bliss, you’re now picking the wall full of bliss.
I don’t have you in a kiss, thinking of you, be gone.

Feel the hand full of bliss, touches on your shoulder. Feel the hand full of bliss, touches on your shoulder.

Feel the dancing fingers, dance upon your back. Feel the dancing fingers, dancing on your neck, dancing on your back.

All the tension that was on you, now sure is gone. All the tension that was on you, now sure is gone.

Hear the blissful creatures, feed on your fear.
As you touch Mama Earth, you feel back the natures hurt.

<<Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it

As you walk on to the other station, ‘cause there ain’t no train that rides your way.
No car, no bicycle, we gotta walk and fall and stand up slow
you gotta walk and fall and stand up slow
Can you Feel it Feel it, Can you Feel it Feel it, Can you Feel it Feel it, Can you Feel it Feel it
come on mister guitar man

I feel the breezes who blow the earth.
I feel the breezes who blow the earth. woo
They refresh my breath.
Boreal Forest. Boreal Forest.
Refreshes my breath.
Can you Feel it Feel it, Can you Feel it Feel it, Can you Feel it Feel it, Can you Feel it can you Feel it

So naked we breathe the air, when we’re first born, and draw the first of breaths.
Without that, small as it might feel, the babies of today won’t draw their first of, won’t draw their first of, won’t draw their first of , breaths.
It might mean last years, it might mean last cries, but the school of life can be a paradise.
Can you Feel? Can you Feel___it?

nummer 2: I know you try to make me smile
But you can not reach me right now
I am so tensioned that I do not know how to get back to my inner child
Following the path that I so long walked,
circles in the sand, my footsteps here we go again

Suffering all the laughter, what I so long lost
But that is just a school of life
That’s the way it goes
All those cicrcles in the sand
Where I tread again I can count it out 123
Here I go another round

Who am I to talk like this
Have I got the wisdom in my head
or I just read some book
Here I go again

Following all those losers who wrote them books
Who are walking always on those lines
I want to fall in between the lines

wait a minute

Take me one more time
Just one more round
Take me one more line further down the road
Walking circles all the time 1x
We stick around together
Walking circles all the time 2x
Smiling circle clowns 9x

nummer 3: [hey darling you’re the light of my love yeah:]4x
I met you when I walked on my rubber boots, i had to play for Harry Muskee. I know he was my favourite bluesman. He sang the blues right straight from his heart. It was I guess on Curacao. where I met you baby, baby blue. Your tattoo it shone right to me. I had to kiss it. That brought a little misery. Baby, now you’re still in my life. And you are I mean the light of my life.
[hey baby/hey sugar you’re the light of/in my love:]4x

Hey you’re the light ever since I saw you. I didn’t know, WHO_ you were. I found out we’re the same soul, in different bodies. You’re the sun and and the moon. And I’m the sun soon. As soon as you turn around, I’m there to catch you in my arms.
*refr: [little darling you’re the light of my love yeah:]3x
“_you’re the light of my love” “break it down_”
<
little darling you’re the light of my love
[:light of my love:] ad lib
[:thema :] ad lib
*refr: [light of my love:] ad lib
thema 4x
you’re the light of my life.

nr.4 I got dealt the darkness, once again
had to light it up once again
and i free your mind, once again.
i free your mind, once again
I hear Marleys chains. Do you hear them too?
I hear Marleys chains. Do you hear them too?
I wonder why, i feel so lost, in this paradise.
I’ve had my food and my water since i was born. So what should I complain? So what should I complain?
I tumble, from the steps, that i just climbed. I thought I’d never fall down, never fall out again.
But i do it now, and i can see why. Was it just the lazyness of not minding my steps.
When do i give up? Is there a way, to end this game?
How many more roads, do I have to fall tumbling down? Roll tumbling. Tumbling down_-_
ohhoooo _-_ ahahoo eejooo aawwaw _-_

solo
alalala
whistle

nr.5

I’m dressed in white, but that doesn’t mean to much. What does it sy about my dreams? What does it mean to you? Does it mean to me?

I wrestle in this world, with all the boys and girls. Who am I in all this trouble? I see myself in clothes, that I didn’t pick. What’s hip right now, I don’t care.

I’m a mean machine. I love to sing the blues. I love to sing it all night long.

Shadows that are falling, longer still. It’s the end of the game. ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, round and round

‘Round and ‘round the film goes, ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, round and round

I wake up and see,the difference between you and me. And I can’t deny my sweetest.

I embrace your soul, your skin touches mine. The coffeine, like the colour.

I am so yellow now. My blood keeps boiling now. Feel like a swifter. A tornado, dissolving with you. I can’t deny, my feelings are true.

‘Round and ‘round the film goes, Round round the movie goes, Round round the reel it goes, reelin’ and a rockin’.

Round and round the reel it goes. The movie still goes on. Got it brighter now.

solo

Round and round the film goes. I know and it shows, who you are,who we are today.

Yesterday the same old blues, I don’t know what we gotta lose. I sing my song out of my soul and I know.

‘Round and ‘round the film goes, ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, ‘Round and ‘round the film goes, round and round and round

round and round and round, round and round and round, round and round and round, round and round and round

and round my boy and round my girl and round my man and round my woman, and my round my grandmama. Thank you all, Thank you All.

solo

nr.6

This is the way life goes, this is the way and it shows. This is the way life goes.

This is the way life goes, this is the way and it shows. This is the way life goes. This is the way life goes.

I know that I’m blind, I know that the word’s a lie. Those 4, 5 letter words. These more or 5 letter words.

And i know that i’m good, even though i call it bad. I got my lungs screaming at you. I got the air from inside, from outside in. I got the roll model for you, and it’s love.

solo

Broken hearted, now ain’t we all? But we got to mend it together, working together. Flying away. Spread your wings, i want your love to fly.

Spread your wings, i want your love to fly.

nr.7

I wore my purple scar,
My submarine yellow trousers fitted right to them.
My red head in the air,
neighing like a wild horse on the hill.
And i wanted to, go beyond baby,
get that dimension right here,
And let me sink, to the ocean of love,
with all the colours, and manage much more,
than i ever dreamed of, in my wildest dreams.
I surrender my truths to it all.

in the ocean, ocean of love

[:in the ocean , ocean of love:]3x

PLAY IT MAMA, ohhhh oooooh alrright …solo ad lib

I want your, sweet embrace to widen baby,
’till we hold the universe,
Then go further, further down, where no road has gone.
where here is here in the for ever now. Yeah come on.

Back to the ocean , ocean of love

[:Back to the ocean, ocean of love.:]3x

 

why come baby in the mourning rain, let it all shine now.

why come baby, and let it all hang down.

in a burning light, i sit alone.

hear me calling, in the burning light.

if i could see you, in the crowded fields.

a living wondering, is all i need

[: to get back home :]

and i wonder, where i should go, right here.

ride along that railroad line.

i shouldn’t , I should find my own way.

hear me out, won’t you hear me play?

i want you to hear me play, hear me play.

alone for a little while.

so the dizziness can leave my head.

that blind me, well i did that thing for sure.

to ride the line in the sunset till the morning.

just spread my wings, to feel the freedom flight.

in the morning, waving goodbye to you baby.

and then a rising, of the healing winds.

I shatter my long, used to be.

a picture that i carried so long.

A hurting flame, in which I saw myself.

Dissolving all, in one.

Make the rainbow the knight in shining armour.

Picture yourself, from up above.

How you feel peace, in the deepest grounds.

Be connected to the light deep down inside baby.

Right on time I see, It’s all way back home.

I’m in the sun, in the sunlight, rolling,

rolling, rolling,

rolling lordy, rolling right now.

Are you ready, are you ready, to roll all night long? Find yourself on the floor. A heart that’s softly explaining,

why the sun is brighter here, why the sun is brighter here. 

If I see, it’s, just a name. And my wings sail by ,

in the ocean of love.

I let my wings sail, on the ocean , in the ocean, of love. If I see to me in God. In the ocean baby, in the ocean of love. 

I don’t want the back door, And i don’t wanna roll. Feeling love, 

in the ocean, in the ocean of love. 

rolling lordy, rolling the light.

in the ocean baby, in the ocean in the ocean of love.

in the ocean, in the ocean of love. Put your arms around me baby. 

solo

[:Born in the ocean of love.:]

{:i’m a born in a:}<

and i wore my purple scarf, my pink ballet shoes, fitting right in there. My yellow submarine trousers, fitting right in there. My green glasses painted the yellow sky. My naked, body close to that. Sweating skin on skin, every day. 

And I’m submitting to the waves. Oh let me out, and put me down. Once in a while. 

[: Back in the ocean of love :]

lo lo lo lo lo

[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love :]

So, fitted to the truth, are those symbols written, on the lines. With in between the lines, a hint of what you are. And the wide people, and the wide people mama yeah, 

[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love :]

I make them feel so good, so good, inside. 

and wrinkle the water, baby low.

[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love :]

[: Bring it home to me yeah, in the ocean of love :]

sing it out lonely, the lonely avenue

and swing me back, in the ocean of love.

I wanna hear the blue(/blood), right in here, singing my song

[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love :]

I wore my purple scars, my pink ballet shoes fitted right in, my submarine yellow trousers, so good, 

My green glasses coloured the yellow sky. 

My naked body close to that, sweating skin on skin every day. 

[: Back in the ocean, of love :]

i wanna go now

[: Back in the ocean, of love :]

You found me back, in the dark. You took the glass out of my hand. You made me feel an empty vessel once more. In the sense of fullness and the brightness. I’m a miracle, the songs are light and the sighs are light. 

[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love :]

Right on time , I came to you baby.

To guide you for, transition in all colours.

Right on time, to guide you.

[: Back to the ocean, of love :]

(versie 2)  optreden 1 cool:

[: Back in the ocean, of love :]

I got my pink ballet shoes, my submarine yellow trousers. My green glasses pass the yellow sky. My naked body, close all the time. Sweating, skin on skin. 

[: Back to the ocean, of love :]

I’m riding so blind. Ease my worried mind. The old black shoes, on my feet. Like they seem to disappear.

[: Back in the ocean, of love :]

From the hills so, steep and small.

I glide off, I really fall, back in the ocean, of love.

I can no longer hide, mya feet and i smile

A drop so tiny, I will fall someday.

You know where, you know when.

let’s sing together, let’s sing together

[: Back in the ocean, of love :]

Versie 3 optreden 2 buckshot:

[: Back to the ocean, back to the ocean, of love :]

i wear my pink ballet shoes, i wear my purple, my purple scarf, i wear my submarine yellow trousers, they fit right in, and my green glasses colour the yellow sky. Underneath my naked skin, feels so light. I want you under there, sweating , skin on skin. 

[: Back to the ocean, back to the ocean, of love :]

Right from the start i was swinging home and now i realise. All the emotions, all the emotions were just a wave. And i go back, on the back of the wild horses, back to the ocean of love.

That’s what I want, in my life a thousand times. I said: 

[: Back to the ocean, back to the ocean, of love :]

solo

Back to the ocean, back to the ocean, of love.

Nr.9

As I pass on To another place, out, in the rain of my tears.   And I want to know, where I, go to next my friend. Cause I see the shadows, and I get scared again.      Fool that I’vebeen, so long running blind on this Mother Earth. Here I am,standing naked before the mirror of the water, that I will swimin. Here on the waves again, sailing my boat, sailing boat, once more. No matter how high the waves, I will stay in theocean, I will stay on the ocean.

My father, and my mother, taught me how to read, taught me how to write, taught how to build a home in the fields and do your thing. Oh. And I had the freedom, to pick up my guitarand sing. And I could keep my first wages, to buy my first guitar. What a gift, what a gift, what a gift what a life,ohhyeah what a gift. What a life, what a gift what a life oh yeah.  Hear the guitar and sing. Hear  the guitar sing. Hear the guitarsing.

Guitarsolo

Once more, we got to break it down a bit. Hear the littlestream. That’s where we drink. And when a baby child is born, he drinks from his mama, who drinks from the spring. And we all got to keep  the spring clean, for the children of tomorrow. We got to keep the spring clean. So we can jump back to thestars, back tot he stars . Back to the stars, back to the stars, back to the stars.

Back to the stars. Oh one more time we go back, back to thestars, oh one more time, back to the stars.

Weer een prachtige review van deze weergaloze platen. Nu in de shop:

QUANTUM 4 CD!!!! – TRIO+FRIENDS – Best of best cult album *****

RALPH DE JONGH
LIVE AT THE THEATRE & QUANTUM
RR
Ralph De Jongh is an acclaimed Dutch blues singer, songwriter and guitarist, who has been around since the 90s but is now breaking out to wider international audiences. The live set was recorded at Van Beresteyn Theatre in Veendam near Groningen, and though the between-songs patter and occasional asides in the songs are in Dutch, that’s not too much of a problem as the music speaks for itself and all the lyrics are in English. The set gives a strong overview of Ralph’s abilities; his vocals are often strongly influenced by late 60s/ early 70s Mick Jagger, and some of the songs here – but more especially on Quantum – sound as though they could have come from The Stones’ classic Exile On Main Street. There is an attractively loose feel to the majority of the songs, which seems to be the way Ralph prefers to work; he is backed here solely by bass and drums. Those looking for the blues pure and simple should note that Ralph opens the live set with a rare cover of Junior Wells’ Snatch It Back, much slower than Junior’s funky rendition, and Honky Baba is very obviously inspired by Elmore James. There is also a fine cover of Hey Joe, drawing on Jimi Hendrix of course, but certainly different enough to be individual. Impressive all round, and an excellent introduction to the man and his music.
Quantum contains four CDs, recorded over three days, seemingly with the original intention of issuing just a single CD, but it would have been a shame to leave any of these tracks out, though one or two could stand a little pruning. Ralph’s lyrics frequently reveal that he is a free-thinking individual, and there are not many around these days who would dare open their new album with a slow-ish, 17 minutes long blues-rock jam – but Ralph does with School, and makes it work. As previously mentioned there are some strong echoes of Jagger and The Stones throughout this set, but on this track there are stronger influences from Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin. Elsewhere there are tinges of Blind Willies McTell and Johnson (try Ease), sometimes a gospel/ Americana feel (Wider View or either version of Angel), Texas down-home blues as on Ache, and straight Chicago blues on Mama and Help. The three versions of Every Day have a jaunty blues sound, Louisiana has a deeper, more Muddy Waters-tinged approach, there are hints of vintage Fleetwood Mac on the second version of Ease, and Old Country Road is a delicate country blues.
Running to well over five hours, I doubt many readers will play all four CDs of Quantum in one go, though that is certainly not a criticism. You can more or less start wherever you choose to listen to this set. You’ll enjoy some very fine blues, blues-rock, bluesy rock or bluesy Americana. Definitely a name to watch!

Schiermonnikoog afgelast wegens vergunningsfout
16 June 2019 by Ralph de Jongh
Nieuws

Het optreden op 19 juni in De Berkenplas Schiermonnikoog gaat wegens omstandigheden niet door. Ooit schreef ik in de toegift hier Spinning Around. ThE Fabriek Edwin schreef daar nog een mooi stuk over.

 

Hier nog tekst van een nieuw lied geschreven in Nispen op de piano.

hear me call, your name, from the shadows. I need, a light. In the morning, of the day, the end of the night. Listen to the tears stream down. Is that you on the grass? Oh pretty love. Hear the sob of a broken hearted man. Tears down, tears down. Tears mend. The night that you saw me, deep in tears, for you.   And burning, i was there, still around, in a hell. [:Hang on to your wings, as you jump, deep in there.:] To a deep mystery road, that suddenly, evolves.

(lananananna hiiiiii hooo)

And fly with me down to the river of your, love, while we burn, let your tears stream all over me. And blow your own soul, your true soul, your true violet blue green firy yellow red rainbow soul through your heart.

(tananan tannan daa wo oohh)

And then melt down, melt down. And then grow up, with speed of light. And I kiss your forgiveness, your silence made tree, in perfumes unknown to all. Fireflies here in the dark. Hear the mystery, how it blows you peace. And finally you feast with all. As canons fall and rise for love, and no more words for grieve. Time tree we grow this way, and wind with this holy love will melt snow and ice, snow and ice, snow and ice that’s all in you. For with your roots in telepathic range, your branches in perfect blue, hear it blow. Blowing you, healing you, finally, I sent it all to you and me. You & me, I’ll sent it all.

(naaa ohh oohh ah)

 

en nog wat teksten voor de nieuwe plaat:

I love You So

Hello sadness, welcome to my world. Are you growing up to be a tall man? Hello sadness, hello gladness, thank you for the time we spend. I love you forever baby. This doesn’t have to mean the end.

I love you everywhere I go, even when the sun is sinking low. And the rhyming stays with me in your heart and our baby the Moon is shining bright. 

solo vb viool

Fire my soul, my friend. Feel the wind as it starts to grow stronger. The far away eyes, even further than before. And now you open, each and every door. Come on my friend, don’t let me go. i love you so baby. i love you so.

Dirty Hour

Hear the birds whining low, feel the sun and it’s cold. In your life here with me, tells me everything. I wanna caress you soul, I wanna hold your body close to mine. Yeah baby you. And I want to find your time with me. Like in the old days, I want to be free.  Wanna ride with you untill I’m so blue, and the sun is ready, and the sun is ready for you.  And the song is ready for you.

(nan nan nana)

The soldiers fly on the rainbow child, and I sit with you in the sun. And I know that you’re crying baby, and it’s time to go way back home. And the home waiting for you to be alive. Come on with the perfume. Let it smell as you always were.  It’s like rainbows gathering in my mind.

(nan nan nana)

Your shoulders whip your merry less, it’s breaks a heart to get their trash. Finally overwhelmed, [; in the dirty hour.:]3x

solo

Yeah listen to the radio, as you get home. The stars are sending you back home. Yeah listen to the radio. The stars are going to send you way back home. Send it back to you, send it back to you. Send it back to them, send it back to you. Let this morning, let this morning be a morning let this morning be a morning light.

Love love it’s the time now baby, i really want you to come back home. Go back home. You gotta run now yeah, we’ll be dissolving into one. Into one. One. 

God is always Late

God is always late, no hurry no worry

Open the gate. Hang in the wind with your hair in the water.

God is always late, no hurry no worry

When you sit back with the gifts of mother earth.

Breathe in the air with the mother earth.

God is always late, no hurry no worry, no hurry no worry.

The light shines from inside you, no hurry no worry. When the light shines from inside you. No hurry no worry.

God is always late. And the people love each other more and more. Each other like sisters and brothers. No hurry, no worry. God is always late. God isalways late. Let the light shine from inside your eye. Light all through the universe. No hurry no worry. God is always late. Let the chords of music caress your soul. No hurry no worry. God is always late.

If this world ever changes, we will meet again.

[: Hear the bird sing his tunes, flying to the moon / fly me to the moon. :] When the eggs are hatching, another year begins. Hear the bird, flying to the moon.

And he was, just a little chick, he got the worm from his dad. And his mum gave her best, the young butterflies.

[: If this world ever changes, we will meet again. :]5x

For now we’re walking in the sun, sniffin’ up the flowers honey. Together in this world, [: just a boy and a girl :].

If this world ever changes, we will meet again.

Flowing in mind i wake up, flying with worrying in my soul.

i need to wake up, a little more

spread my wings and relearn how to fly

drops of my species hanging on me

now it’s time to do the firefly

1000 of pieces exploding into space

gliding scale of men gone mad

see how they treat each other gruesome

time to learn from history’s hysteria

put your feet slowly on the ground

learn from the past of your fathers

unwind your cellular vessels now

and glide into your fathers mysterie

unfold your wings and start to fly

glide in the scale of harmony

feel that you’re  really connected

and change your future and your past.

[:well there aint no use to cry out now:]

i must be worrying now, with a different view.

it’s from order to the blue_e my babe.

afraid, of a freight so large, we we take flight.

Ocean Of Love

why come baby in the mourning rain, let it all shine now.

why come baby, and let it all hang down.

in a burning light, i sit alone.

a living wondering, is all i need

[: to get back home :]

i shouldn’t , I should find my own way.

hear me out, won’t you hear me play?

i want you to hear me play, hear me play.

to ride the line in the sunset till the morning.

just spread my wings, to feel the freedom flight.

in the morning, waving goodbye to you baby.

and then a rising, of the healing winds.

I shatter my long, used to be.

a picture that i carried so long.

A hurting flame, in which I saw myself.

Dissolving all, in one.

Make the rainbow the knight in shining armour.

Picture yourself, from up above.

How you feel peace, in the deepest grounds.

Be connected to the light deep down inside baby.

Right on time I see, It’s all way back home.

I’m in the sun, in the sunlight, rolling,

rolling, rolling,

rolling lordy, rolling right now.

Are you ready, are you ready, to roll all night long? Find yourself on the floor. A heart that’s softly explaining,

why the sun is brighter here, why the sun is brighter here.

If I see, it’s, just a name. And my wings sail by ,

in the ocean of love.

I let my wings sail, on the ocean , in the ocean, of love. If I see to me in God. In the ocean baby, in the ocean of love.

I don’t want the back door, And i don’t wanna roll. Feeling love,

in the ocean, in the ocean of love.

rolling lordy, rolling the light.

[: Back in the ocean, of love :]

You found me back, in the dark. You took the glass out of my hand. You made me feel an empty vessel once more. In the sense of fullness and the brightness. I’m a miracle, the songs are light and the sighs are light.

[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love :]

Right on time , I came to you baby.

To guide you for, transition in all colours.

Roses Float To The Sea

wanna take a step, in the moonlight, it’s just my reflection.

wanna take a short cut, step by sep, take it day by day.

– – don’t get excited if you never make it, every step is one.

life can be hard, life can be short, love will continue endlessly.

i follow you now, in the light, being the calm in outer storm.

  • -and the roses float through the river, till they land in the sea.
  • i always wish, you are part of me, and i am part of you.

roses float to the sea, flying no one sees, how brave we can be, being one sure, how we dissolve in the light.

how God created all those pieces, i might never know,

tonight i feel, really connected, hope this is still going on.

in the eye of the storm, when holy water, it is in the river to the sea

Flower might have died but it flourished long enough, to share the essence with the sea. All the stories, many million billion, time to learn and time to cry.  All of the odours, in life to learn, that flow through us all.

  • -and the good of the school, brought us home, brought us step by step. The gift of the school just brought us home, taught us step by step.
  • All the roses float to the sea, let the magic answer you. All of the roses, live short but they live, and they share their passion with the sea.
  • Hungry for love they were so long, and they all went- mineur—away.
  • ok, they are in a winer sleep.  And their short life is hard. But they will set the sun again, and we’ll be here, to make everything honest.
  • — Love will stay, endlessly. Roses float- –
  • Roses float- – Roses float- –
  • to- – the- – sea.

Spawn

Being home once more. Hurrying home, open the door, to the light, we are.

Wasting time. But like a wave, it breaks and then returns. Fly then fall.

Time will heal every wound. Will bring you light they say. Will bring you in, back home, on a wave of light.

Hurting time has long been gone, it’s time to heal your soul, it’s time to heal your wound. For the child that will be born tomorrow, flying in the sun, flying in the sun.

mmmm-pop -tatam-popbamabo bom

(fluit melodie)

Time will heal those burning desires, and make you get burned into the fire. Go away to the sun.

And rust, in hurting stories fly, and in the grave of mind, I’ll bring it way back home.

(fluit melodie)

(melodie snaarinstrumenten)

And missing your clothes again. Giving up again. Another year of life.

Freedom is what you want and what you get. Choose for love, and it’s what you get. Choose for light, and it’s what you get.

Deep in trouble, I have always been. So good lordy, I keep on spinning. [:Light me up a bit:]

So I’m crying, in burning clothes. I’m Still in need, and there is time, still oh lord, in this old blue world. Hold me tight my mama, feel the peace of light deep inside, shining through me. And I finally found, the truth inside. And I finally found, the truth——. Break my heart baby, with bare hands break my home. Light it up, light it up in love. The morning comes,  as always right on time, blue as heaven, blue as heaven up above. The chained heart is burning low, it might never see a flow. Let us reach for the bottle. And the shadow fall—s, and might never learn , I might never learn, wh—-at in the world is wrong with me. What in the world is wrong with me? (“Cry on Boy”)

solo/instr

I— may see the circles that I walked before. That it wasn’t really freedom, I was talking about. I live in a program that I learned even before I was a child. And I’m ready. It’s starting to fall apart. And through the cracks, the light will reveal itself once more. Like the grass is growing, through the thickest wall. And I remember, a next time when I fall, to give up all yeah, to give up all controll. I’m going to let the light shine right through me, yeah, I’ll let the light shine through—, through— me. I’ll loosen up, and let the light shine—, shine through me. I’ll let the light —-, shine — through me yeah, oh yeah bring it once more, all right.

[:i get loaded, :] i get going, you know it. i got the old rock and roll in my heart and beat, i got my whole and soul in a heartbeat rock, i got the rock and roll in my heartbeat soul, i got the old rock and roll.

i got low down by that old mean chain, i got low down from my feet on the gas, i got the old rock and roll in my home.

  • – i felt so blue for a little while, but i got back on my feet. Felt so blue, lost in this world, hard, heart in the fire.

I was a boogie boy since i was born, i ‘ve never wanted to do harm, i want the world to live in peace, i want everybody to be alright at ease. I said ooh yeah, i love the old rock and roll. I said ooh yeah, i love the old yin yang too. I never thought that i’m a king, and i know i am lean. Gonna sing, start it now, ooh boogie boy roll it now.

[: I came dressed in rock and roll :]

that’s a baby boy, yeah a baby boy

this is a baby boy, I came dressed in rock and roll. Try the baby of the blues mama, try the baby of the blues.

oh fuck, what do you want? ain’t it to your liking? Mother what do you need? Don’t you know the heart in here?

I know you’re blue too, I know you had to fight too.

we’re all soldiers in this world. [: Better stop, looking, for a war. :] Better start, growing into one, into one, this old rock and roll, yeah. Like yin and yang. Like the heart and soul. Old rock and roll yeah. It’s like the heart and soul. Like the man and wife. Like the good old days and the new ways.

Be the ocean, dressed in rock and roll.

came dressed in rock and roll.

 

WONDER

i wonder what it’s all about, it’s so wonderful.

all the years that i waited to cry.

inside the water’s boiling, till it drops out in the snow. learned by the history of man. learned so much till it was burning. man’s like an ocean. wonder what it’s all about. Crying the old tears silently, on the other side. All connected by invisible waves of light. i hope that someone remembers what we are.

If you ever feel down about this, close your eyes and remember we are one. So many tears cried, enough water to fill the ocean. All the sadness of feeling so apart.

Remember that we’re born with a mission, to get back to our true soul. So get there now be part, in the ocean of love. in the ocean now.

If you’re all worked up and you’re feeling so sad, walking in the mill you can’t see the end. Just remember to remain proud of who we are, and cry another year of tears.

New album Back To The Ocean Of Love first lyrics
12 June 2019 by Ralph de Jongh
Nieuws
i come baby in the mourning rain, let it all shine now.
i come baby, and let it all hang down.
in a burning light, i sit alone.
hear me calling, in the burning light.
if i could see you, in the crowded fields.
a living wandering, is all i need
[: to get back home :]
and i wonder, where i should go, right here.
ride along that railroad line, or no
i shouldn’t , I should find my own way.
hear me out, won’t you hear me play?
i want you to hear me play, hear me play.
alone for a little while.
so the dizziness can leave my head.
blind me, well i did that thing for sure.
 
to ride the line in the sunset till the morning.
just spread my wings, to feel the freedom flight.
in the morning, waving goodbye to you baby.
and then a rising, of the healing winds.
I shatter my long, used to be.
a picture that i carried so long.
A hurting flame, in which I saw myself.
Dissolving all, in one.
Make the rainbow the knight in shining “amour”.
Picture yourself, from up above.
How you feel peace, in the deepest grounds.
Be connected to the light deep down inside baby.
Right on time I see, It’s all way back home.
I’m in the sun, in the sunlight, rolling,
rolling, rolling,
rolling lordy, rolling right now.
Are you ready, are you ready, to roll all night long? Find yourself on the floor. A heart that’s softly explaining,
why the sun is brighter here, why the sun is brighter here.
If I see, it’s, just a name. And my wings sail by ,
in the ocean of love.
I let my wings sail, on the ocean , in the ocean, of love. If I see to me in God. In the ocean baby, in the ocean of love.
I don’t want the back door, And i don’t wanna roll. Feeling love,
in the ocean, in the ocean of love.
rolling lordy, rolling the light.
in the ocean baby, in the ocean in the ocean of love.
in the ocean, in the ocean of love. Put your arms around me baby.

[:Born in the ocean of love.:]
{:i’m a born in a:}<
and i wore my purple scarf, my pink ballet shoes, fitting right in there. My submarine yellow trousers, fitting right in there. My green glasses painted the yellow sky. My naked, body close to that. Sweating skin on skin, every day.
And I’m submitting to the waves. Oh let me out, and put me down. Once in a while.
[: Back in the ocean of love :]
lo lo lo lo lo
[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love :]
 
So, fitted to the truth, are those symbols written, on the lines. With in between the lines, a hint of what you are. And the wide people, and the wide people mama yeah,
[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love :]
 
I make them feel so good, so good, inside.
and wrinkle the water, baby low.
[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love :]
[: Bring it home to me yeah, in the ocean of love :]
sing it out lonely, the lonely avenue
and swing me back, in the ocean of love.
I wanna hear the blue, right in here, singing my song
[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love :]
 
I wore my purple scars, my pink ballet shoes fitted right in, my submarine yellow trousers, so good,
My green glasses colored the yellow sky.
My naked body close to that, sweating skin on skin every day.
[: Back in the ocean, of love :]
i wanna go now
[: Back in the ocean, of love :]
 
You found me back, in the dark. You took the glass out of my hand. You made me feel an empty vessel once more. In the sense of fullness and the brightness. I’m a miracle, the songs are light and the sighs are light.
 
[: Back in the ocean, the ocean, of love :]
Right on time , I came to you baby.
To guide you for, transition in all colors.
Right on time, to guide you.
[: Back to the ocean, of love :]
